Behold! The ultimate ethernet cable!

I saw this and I just had to share with all of you hardware lovin' folks.
Behold! The most expensive ethernet cable ever conceived.
If you need to order one you can find it here.
Edit: I've been doing some digging about if this is really just regular old CAT5 and in a couple of audiophile forums a number of people reported that using shielded CAT5 or CAT6 works just fine. Here's one link. And another link.
Mr. SeñorAmor found the Amazon listing for this product. He highly recommends you check out the reviews before using this product.

Fixed it for you.
Obviously those ones and zeroes have been getting bounced around in those shitty ethernet "tubes" for decades now... and you have found the way to fix this issue.
Expect the government to contact you soon, now that you have finally developed the ethernet cable that doesn't fuck up data transfer. The CAT-5e the pentagon has been using for ages in futility can now be replaced with the only cable capable of accurate data transfer.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...
Yep, this thing is marketed for an A/V digital interconnect, not Ethernet. This is simply the natural progression of the Monster Cable marketing style. I have to to give them credit, though, for saying "fuck it" and going for the extreme -- they're probably laughing their asses off a the couple of stupid motherfuckers that would buy this sort of bullshit.
You'd think that, but it's got rounded plug levers to protect against that exact danger! $500 is practically giving it away!
Edit - just for completion's sake:
With patented go-faster stripes so your premier audio experience isn't delayed by a single second!
"Those are speed-holes, they make the car go faster!"
Come to think of it, that cable looks pretty damned aerodynamic.
By the way, I went to the news page for that comic, then I went to the Monster website, where I found this:
I know it's supposed to hold multiple cables, but just looking at it... o_O
During those times, I run component, HDMI, coaxial, and wacky white headed cables from that device to the TV, and gulldurnit, those cables better be organized!
*towels spittle off the thread* Sorry about that.
Oh man. I'm crying I'm laughing so hard at the reviews.
Wait, Harry Potter?
Also, "the plastic tab breaks as easily as a normal $10 cable".
Either way, doesn't really matter. Digital signal's main advantage over analog is that the shit either gets there complete or not. It's not like analog where it can be affected by white noise or attenuation. If it's messed up in anyway error correction takes place at the hardware level, this shit is part of the TCP/IP stack for christs sake.
The people in R&D at Denon are probably still laughing. Right now.
EDIT: The 5 star review because the cables are 'strong enough to hang yourself with once you realise what you've paid so much for' is good.

That's not the half of it. When you first hear those 2's stream gloriously in perfect reproduction, tears will stream uncontrollably down your cheeks as you reach for the $400 wooden volume knobs you faithfully installed long ago.
Found that their website provides this handy inside view of the cable:
It is unbelievably thrilling.
I'll buy 10!

Hey, isn't that Jabba's sail barge?
This, while not directly related, also partains to expensive audio cords. Also, coathangers.

It's moddled after it.
If I ever win the lottery, it will be my first purchase.
